http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjY4NjE1OTQ4.htmlI came across this TED talk yesterday in which Chris Lonsdale, a psychologist from New Zealand talks about language learning. He believes that anybody can learn a language in six months if they follow the five principles and seven actions that he has formulated after assessing all the research available on language learning.4 S- o# n+ ^: y4 Z2 S" u# {
昨天我看了一個(gè)TED演講,來(lái)自新西蘭的語(yǔ)言學(xué)家Chris Lonsdale講了語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的方法。在評(píng)估了所有語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的研究之后,他總結(jié)出了5個(gè)原則、7個(gè)行動(dòng)。他相信只要遵從這5個(gè)原則、踐行這7個(gè)行動(dòng),任何人都能在6個(gè)月內(nèi)學(xué)會(huì)一種外語(yǔ)。, e% D, E3 P" C) e4 v; y5 p

The five principles are:1 H% w0 m" X8 p' l
5個(gè)原則:
3 Q# D$ C* _" r C1. Focus on language content that is relevant to you.8 y6 o* T' `8 X
專注和你日常相關(guān)的語(yǔ)言內(nèi)容。
2 X' ]: u1 Y- s5 t. V* X/ j2. Use your language as a tool to communicate from day 1.4 ]0 p" c* g0 v! q6 X- B* z; c
從學(xué)習(xí)這門語(yǔ)言的第一天開始,就把它當(dāng)做你的交流方式。

當(dāng)你明白含義之后,你會(huì)慢慢不知不覺(jué)地習(xí)得這門語(yǔ)言。* v# ^5 n9 a/ B1 N6 B1 h e e* S, Q
4. Language is not about accumulating a lot of knowledge but is rather a type of physiological training.' w" K5 r# u' b( ^% v# c
語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)不是大量知識(shí)的積累,而更像是一種生理訓(xùn)練。5 Z" d1 q, Y* M- N
5. Psycho-physiological state matters – you need to be happy, relaxed, and most importantly, you need to be tolerant of ambiguity. Don’t try to understand every detail as it will drive you crazy.
- V+ T( ]: c H: c心理狀態(tài)和生理狀態(tài)都很重要:你需要愉快、放松,最重要的是對(duì)于模棱兩可要有一定容忍性。對(duì)于細(xì)枝末節(jié)不要過(guò)于糾結(jié),因?yàn)槟菚?huì)把你逼瘋的。

S5 L3 B7 {4 j/ U7個(gè)行動(dòng):
; V8 B" g6 o9 W& l! |) H; s1 y. c1. Listen a lot – it doesn’t matter if you understand or not. Listen to rhythms and patterns.
+ S5 l. c8 @- F8 w多聽——理解與否不重要,盡管去聽吧!去聽聽語(yǔ)言節(jié)奏和說(shuō)話模式。
6 @- X- f# |$ u2. Focus on getting the meaning first, before the words. Body language and facial expressions can help.: R* o# B1 R6 E% _1 `
先專注理解整體意思,再弄清單詞含義。身體語(yǔ)言和面部表情會(huì)有所幫助。$ n) J6 n9 i0 e- \- v8 d
3. Start mixing, get creative, and use what you’re learning# F% u& P- R8 [7 ^8 f) v# J
開始混合,創(chuàng)造話語(yǔ)并使用你所學(xué)到的一切。
/ w' W' ?& d- {7 v; C5 s- O* }4. Focus on the core – use the most commonly-use the words, and use the language to learn more
' h5 l. c7 Z" c把注意力集中在核心部分——使用高頻詞匯,利用你已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)的東西學(xué)到更多。
. C' u6 e9 O; v+ c4 w( V8 M2 b5. Get a language parent – someone who is fluent in the language and who will do their best to understand what you mean; who will not correct your mistakes; who will feedback their understanding of what you’re saying using correct language, and uses words that you know.
- R2 Z2 H! P/ x找個(gè)語(yǔ)伴——能流利講這門語(yǔ)言的人,或者能盡可能理解你說(shuō)什么的人。注意,語(yǔ)伴不會(huì)糾正你的錯(cuò)誤,但能夠用正確的語(yǔ)言、你明白的語(yǔ)言來(lái)對(duì)你的表現(xiàn)做出反饋。
. J. k6 |4 d! m- b7 I. {! g2 @6. Copy the face – watch native speakers and observe their face, and particular their mouth moves when they’re speaking.
, @) s3 K9 Y$ @) M模仿面部表情——有些人的母語(yǔ)正是你要學(xué)習(xí)的新語(yǔ)言,你要觀看他們講話,觀察他們的面部表情、尤其是講話時(shí)的嘴型。+ J% b& S6 y: x4 ?& \: i2 K
7. “Direct connect” to the target language – find ways to connect words directly with images and other internal representations.; x1 S' L5 E% v) o' d2 c; [
在大腦和目的語(yǔ)之間建立“直接聯(lián)系”——想辦法讓語(yǔ)言和大腦中的圖像或其他內(nèi)部表象產(chǎn)生直接聯(lián)系。 |
